The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News [Unofficial]The gardening trick that gives vegetables a head start on weeds
clewChitting potatoes. Yes, no, or in some circumstances?
Near Seattle, a Csb climate, so I’ll be planting them into cool wet leaning acid soil.
Malka Beth@gardening Finally starting to see my #potatoes with some stems coming up sizably from the ground, which means it's past time to plant the rest of them. #FoodGrowing #Gardening
Eleanore DuncanHooray! After 4 years on the waiting list we have an #allotment and it is really lovely. We are fortunate that the previous tenants have left a quirky shed, a large fruit cage and a well structured plot. It's going to need lots of organic matter as it doesn't look particularly well cultivated and there's a fair amount of wasted space. Looking forward to putting our stamp on it. It is 5 minutes from home and near a national cycle route. #foodgrowing #slowliving #selfsufficiency #allotmentlife
kms✍🏻The struggles for farmers are not new and not confined to one region, but this is a heartbreaking story of the mental health issues of US Northeast farmers as they strive to make it through the year.

PhoenixSerenity#DigitalTechnologies are changing how #food is produced. And it’s more than harvesting robots that are arriving on the scene. #Companies are now pairing #DataCentres with #greenhouses - #CapturingHeat emitted by #ComputingHardware & #reusing it to #GrowCropsIndoors .
#QScale data centre #development in #Lévis #Québec is one such project.

Caspar BelowI need some help: I’ve joined my #allotment organising committee. Most things were handled informally before and it didn’t go so well, so we have to formalise some things. How is your allotment setup? As #associations, #communitygroups #coop, registered #society or something else? Would also be good to know how you created a bank account and how you forecast for water bills…#communitygardens #horticulture #foodgrowing
It's a wet and chilly day so I have been planning what to grown on our city terrace next year. I will order seeds after Christmas and start growing them in early January. I have a Jasmine and Clematis on order.
